Singapore studies: Oral hydroxychloroquine and povidone iodine throat sprays can effectively reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in a high-transmission environment

Report by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA / Image : Composite picture



Local studies in Singapore have found that oral hydroxychloroquine and povidone iodine throat sprays (marketed under the brand Betadine) can effectively reduce the spread of the virus SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus, covi, novel coronavirus) and covid (short for coronavirus disease) in a high-transmission environment.


A team of scientists and researchers from multiple units of the National University of Singapore Medical Organization came to this conclusion after conducting clinical trials on more than 3,000 local healthy guest workers who were quarantined in the Tuas South migrant worker dormitory in the middle of 2020.

These guest workers who volunteered to participate in the trial were between 21 and 60 years old and had no symptoms of covid at the beginning of the trial. The guest workers were divided into groups and used oral hydroxychloroquine, oral ivermectin, povidone iodine throat spray, oral Vitamin C or zinc for 42 days.

It was found that about 55% of the guest workers contracted covid during the trial. Among them, the infection rate of migrant workers who used oral hydroxychloroquine and povidone iodine throat spray was the lowest, less than 50.

Dr. Guo Meilin, an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine of the Yang Luling School of Medicine who participated in the study, said that the results of this study provide another feasible solution for covid prevention.

Dr. Guo Meilin said, “These are all ready-made medicines that are easy to obtain, and everyone knows their safety. For those who live in closed and high-exposure environments, especially those who cannot be vaccinated against covid or vaccines. For regions and countries that are not yet widespread, this is a feasible prevention plan."

The results of this study have been published in the "International Journal of Infectious Diseases". The research team said that further studies may be carried out in the future to analyze the effects of these drugs on the elderly and women, as well as groups with weakened immune systems and other serious complications.

Tips on using TraceTogether application / TraceTogether token from 1 June 2021

Source : 8world

Local shopping malls and other high-traffic locations will be mandatory places from June to use the TraceTogether application or portable TraceTogether token device to log in to the SafeEntry visitor registration system.

Where will it be mandatory to use TraceTogether tracking applications or portable devices?
Shopping malls, workplaces, schools, religious places, restaurants, gyms, medical institutions, marriage swearing ceremonies and weddings, funerals, libraries, museums, cinemas, tourist attractions, event venues, cruise ships, etc. will be mandatory to use Heli tracking applications Or log in with a portable device. The full list can be clicked here.

How do I log in to the system? Can I use the camera function of the phone to scan the QR code?
1. Use the TraceTogether tracking application to scan the QR code of the place;
2. Show the TraceTogether tracking portable device to the staff of the venue to scan the QR code on the portable device;
3. If there is a SafeEntry Gateway (SEGW) sensor on site, just touch the sensor on the mobile phone or portable device that opens the homepage of the application.

From 1 June 2021, you will no longer be able to use the phone's camera function or the SingPass application to scan the QR code, or scan your ID to log in.

How to use SafeEntry Gateway?

Do children also need to log in with Traceogether Tracking? Can parents log in for them?
Children under the age of seven do not need to log in, and those seven years of age or older must use the TraceTogether tracking app or portable device to log in. The public can also use the "Group check-in" function of the Heli Tracking app to log in for children or other companions. "Group login" cannot be performed using a portable device.

Why can't my mobile phone or portable device log in through SEGW?
Some mobile phone models may have limited Bluetooth equipment, so they do not match the SEGW device.

If the phone case is too thick, blocked by the hand, or the portable device is installed in the box, it may weaken the Bluetooth signal and make it impossible to log in.

If my mobile phone is out of power or cannot scan the QR code, will I not be able to enter the venue?
In certain “excusable” situations, the venue operator can allow visitors to log in with their credentials, including when the visitor’s mobile phone is out of power, or when the visitor cannot log in by scanning the QR code.

Workers who provide emergency medical services and those who cannot show mobile apps or portable devices due to severe disabilities or special needs are also exempted from not having to log in.

If the shopping mall has forced the use of TraceTogether Tracking to log in, do I still need to log in every time I go to a store?
Sometimes you need it, sometimes you do not need it, depending on which type of shop you go to.

If you go to a place with a high risk of spreading such as gyms and dining venues in the mall, you still have to log in again.

If you are shopping in large retail stores, supermarkets, etc. in the mall, you do not need to log in again, because the interaction in these places is short-lived compared to places such as gyms and restaurants.

Do I need to log out when I leave?
The public who log in using the app to scan the QR code can log out through the app. The authorities encourage everyone to do so, but there is no mandatory requirement to do so. You do not need to log out if you use SEGW to log in.

How do I know if the portable device is dead?
The portable battery can generally be used for about four to six months. If the portable device flashes red or no longer flashes, it means that the battery is exhausted and the portable device must be replaced with a new one. If the green light flashes once every minute, it means that the portable device has power.

How to know if your portable device battery is exhausted?
Ref: token.gowhere.gov.sg

What should I do if the portable device is out of power?
The public can go to 112 people's clubs, community centers or replacement stations located in some shopping malls across the island to replace portable devices that are out of power or malfunction.

There are already replacement stations in Bukit Panjang Plaza, Century Square, Serangoon NEX Shopping Mall and Sembawang Sun Plaza.

The public only needs to bring a dead or malfunctioning portable device and personal ID to the above-mentioned place to replace it free of charge.

I haven't received the portable device yet. Can I get it at these four shopping malls?
No, the public who have not received the portable device can only get the portable device at the people's club or community center. The replacement station in the mall only provides replacement services.

How does the authorities use joint efforts to track and record SafeEntry to determine who may have been in contact with a confirmed patient?
The contact records of TraceTogether Tracking will be screened according to the strength of the Bluetooth signal and the contact time to find out who may have been in close contact with the confirmed patient.

As for the SafeEntry record, if a person has visited the same place as the confirmed person, the visit period overlaps at least five minutes and logged in no more than 12 hours before; or during the visit of the confirmed person, there is more than one time. If the time overlaps in five minutes, it will also be judged that they may have been in contact with the confirmed person.

How does the authority use SafeEntry records to determine whether they have been in contact with patients?
Ref: TraceTogether website.

Once contact is possible, the TraceTogether tracking app, SingPass app and the wereyouthere.safeentry.gov.sg website will be displayed to remind the public.

If the place that may be contacted is a place where it is difficult to observe a safe distance, such as a dining establishment or a gym, the public will also receive a mobile phone text reminder.

If I use a portable device and do not have a mobile phone or computer, how do I know if I might have contact with the confirmed person?
The public can also go to the 26 community centers across the island and the Citizen Connect Centre in Our Tampines Hub for free online inquiries.

I don't remember that I have been to a place visited by a confirmed person. Why do I still receive a SMS?
This may be due to the inaccurate mobile phone number provided by other users when logging in, resulting in the wrong message being sent.

If you encounter this situation, the public can inform here or call the hotline of the Ministry of Health at 1800-333-9999.

The oxygen runs out, the air force rushes liquid oxygen tanks from Singapore



The rapid increase in confirmed cases in India has caused a shortage of medical oxygen. In order to alleviate the shortage of medical resources, the Indian government has adopted a series of measures, including increasing the production and supply of medical oxygen. India has appealed to the international community for help importing oxygen.

The Indian Ministry of Defense decided to urgently import 23 sets of mobile oxygen production equipment with an oxygen production capacity of 2,400 liters/hour from Germany.

On April 24, India dispatched its Air Force C-17 transport aircraft to transport the first batch of four large liquid oxygen tanks from Singapore Changi Airport.

China, Russia, Australia, etc. have all stated that they will provide necessary assistance to India. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on the 23rd that China firmly supports the Indian government and people in fighting the epidemic, and is willing to provide support and assistance in accordance with the needs of the Indian side, and is maintaining communication with the Indian side on this.

However, the "Times of India" published an article on the 23rd entitled "China is willing to help, but India is looking for oxygen elsewhere." An anonymous source from the Indian government said that India does not rule out contacting Chinese private enterprises to purchase medical oxygen, including medical oxygen. However, the government believes that it has the ability to purchase from Singapore, Europe, Gulf countries, etc., "China is not the first choice (purchasing country) for safe medical supplies."

India explodes mutant viruses like purgatory, temporary crematoriums on the street are still not enough

The double or even triple mutation of SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) in India has caused the medical system to collapse in many places. The beds and medical supplies were lacking, and the people rushed and wailed. The tragedy is like Wuhan, China early last year. Due to the sharp increase in the death toll, many cities, including the capital, have added open-air crematoriums on the street but there are still bodies waiting in line.

On Saturday (24 April 2021), India officially announced that there were more than 340,000 new confirmed cases, setting a single-day global record for the third consecutive day. The number of deaths within 24 hours is 2,624, breaking the record again. However, because of the collapse of the medical system in many parts of India, it may be difficult for the government to make accurate statistics. Some media analysis pointed out that the actual number of infections and deaths far exceeds the official figures.

Experts pointed out that the out-of-control epidemic in India was related to the outbreak of the double mutant virus B.1.617 and the triple mutant virus B.1.618 in the country. These variant viruses may accelerate the speed of transmission, and evade and weaken the body's immune response to the virus.

Since mid-March, the epidemic in India has been out of control, and the national medical system is on the verge of collapse. Medical resources such as hospital beds, medicines, oxygen, and respirators are in short supply. In the capital, Delhi, the price of the drug remdesivir and medical oxygen for the treatment of the CCP virus is much higher than the market price by 10 times.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of infected people, many hospitals in the severely affected areas of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and the capital, New Delhi, began to reject patients. Many people infected with the epidemic were lost and died. A large number of distress messages are circulating on social media.

In severely affected areas, a large number of dead bodies have piled up in morgues due to the rapid increase in death toll. Although the crematorium operates around the clock, it is still unable to deal with the increasing number of dead in time.

Some cities, including the capital New Delhi, had to set up multiple temporary open-air crematoriums in their neighborhoods, and set up fires one after another with wood, and burn the corpses in groups day and night. Even so, there are still many dead bodies that cannot be processed in time.

In Rajkot, Gujarat, because all the wood available for incineration has been used up, people need to provide their own fuel if they want to burn the corpses of their families.

Another Indian official disclosed on Facebook that a man in Uttar Pradesh was refused medical treatment after travelling more than 60 kilometers. His mother could not find an ambulance. So she could only rent an electric tricycle and put her son’s body under her feet to go home.

Witnesses took pictures of the scene after the incident, saw people fleeing the hospital in panic and firefighters busy extinguishing the fire.

A Reuters photojournalist said that many ambulances rushed to the fire hospital to take away the injured. Medical sources said patients who were not injured in the fire were also evacuated.

For decades, the Iraqi medical system has been damaged by sanctions and wars, and the situation has become more severe during the pandemic. The Iraqi Ministry of Health stated on 25 April that the country has a total of more than 1 million, i.e. 1.025288 confirmed covid cases and 15,217 fatalities.

Insider: A large number of fuyang cases in Wangkui County, people panic

Reporter : Hu Yuanzhen / Editor : Lin Yan / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/21/4/24/n12902692.htm / Extract translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

On 24 April 2021, The Epoch Times reporter received the news from an insider in Suihua, Heilongjiang Province that there were a large number of fuyang cases in Wangkui, where the epidemic broke out at the beginning of the year. Seven towns were locked down again, and Wangkui County was in a semi-closed state. Local netizens posted an emergency notice from the community about "returning people must report" on the Internet.

According to a report by mainland Chinese media on 24 April, local authorities used "prevention and control exercises" as an excuse to conduct nucleic acid tests in Wangkui County "partial areas and certain groups of people".

Epoch Times reporters called Wangkui County CDC many times, but no one answered them. A staff member of the Suihua CDC said on the phone, "We have not received any official notification, we don't know, and we don't know."

The boss of a local enterprise in Huiqi Town revealed to the Epoch Times reporter, “It’s closed, saying that there is fuyang. There is a village party secretary nearby, and there are more people gathered. The village cadre said to do a nucleic acid test, and the result was a test. People who had previously had the disease had rejuvenation, but this happened."

An insider in Suihua City broke the news to the Epoch Times reporter, “There is fuyang in Huiqi Village, Wangkui County, Heilongjiang, and the local town of Huiqi Village has been locked down. According to internal sources, more than 30 people have recovered from Yang. In the morning, Wangkui Access to the city was restricted, and in the afternoon the fuyanged people were notified that they were 'controlled' and changed to 'exercises'."

Since the mainland government does not disclose information to the people, it once again caused local people to panic about the return of the CCP virus epidemic. Local netizens complained online that supermarket food was robbed. "Do you want to lock down the city again? I'm crazy to buy food", "I'm going to buy a lot of meat tomorrow", "I'm going, I'm late. There's nothing left, it's all gone"...

Netizens revealed on the Internet, "We have checked Wangkui's return since April 10," "Don't spread rumours, don't spread rumours, and enter the game carefully", "Huiqi has more than 20 cases now." "Our school here has begun to investigate whether there is any contact history with Wangkui"...

A hotel owner in Wangkui County told the Epoch Times reporter, “They (local people) all said the same, they all said they would close the city, and the city was going to be closed. Now the cars are still running and they are all normal. I don’t know. They all said that Huiqi was sealed, and they all said so. Let’s take a look at it in a day or two."

At the beginning of January this year, another outbreak of the CCP virus broke out in mainland China. Huiqi Village, Huiqi Town, Heilongjiang Province, and Wangkui County, Suihua, successively became high-risk areas. The epidemic spread rapidly and became out of control. According to the Epoch Times, under the extreme measures of the CCP government to prevent and control the epidemic, people are not living, and a large number of people in closed doors are short of food and medicine. The inability to reach hospitals has caused frequent deaths, suicides and other extreme events.

Zhong Nanshan exposes the problems of epidemic prevention, virus mutation

Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor: Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/04/24/a103103368.html / Extract translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

CCP epidemic prevention expert Zhong Nanshan stated in a forum on 24 April that the biggest problem in preventing CCP virus is virus mutation. Now there are no vaccines developed against CCP virus. Few problems cannot be solved.

According to mainland Chinese media Yangcheng Evening News, in the morning of 24 April, Guangzhou held the Chinese Academy of Engineering 2021 Medical Science Frontier Forum, and Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a speech via video.

Zhong Nanshan said that the main problem currently encountered is the mutation of the CCP virus. The mutant strains currently appearing come from the United Kingdom, Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa and other countries. There are still many problems with vaccines against the Chinese Communist Party virus that have not been resolved.

He said, "For example, how long will the protection last after the vaccine is given? For example, if the vaccine is given twice or even three times, can the protection rate of the virus be further improved? This is a problem that needs to be solved."

At present, the CCP virus is continuing to spread around the world, and many variants of the virus are appearing. On April 20, a new study published in the top medical journal "Cell" showed that two variant viruses appeared in California, USA, which are 20% more infectious than the original virus and are resistant to vaccines.

In order to prevent and control the epidemic, all countries are actively promoting vaccination, but accidents caused by vaccines continue to appear. The Chinese Communist Party has not reported a case of death after being vaccinated with a domestic vaccine, but relevant information on the Internet has been exposed continuously, but it was quickly blocked by the authorities.

Yonhap News Agency reported on the 22nd that a South Korean expatriate living in Shanghai died suddenly three days after being vaccinated with a Chinese-made vaccine.

According to the report, the 40-year-old South Korean national does not have any underlying diseases. On the 19th, he experienced nausea and other abnormal reactions after being vaccinated with the virus vaccine developed by Sinopharm in a hospital in Shanghai.

In the morning of  22 April, the South Korean national was found dead at home.

Since the end of February, Hong Kong has promoted vaccination of the domestically produced Kexing vaccine. So far, at least 18 people have died after being vaccinated. However, the official does not admit that it is related to the Kexing vaccine.

On April 20, the Weibo account "Nanjing Internet Police Patrol Enforcement" posted a message saying that recently, a Nanjing netizen, Pan Moumou, posted a comment on a short video platform that caused the death of a vaccine and was detained for 7 days.

In mid-April, a netizen with the account name "MyBabyBear" posted a post on the Douban group "Hanyu Martial Arts Center" "Life & Communication|Senior Sister Entered ICU After Vaccination".

The netizen said that his school sister passed out after receiving a domestic vaccine and was sent to the ICU. The hospital even issued a critical illness notice, and she is still in danger.

On April 15th, a netizen named "Shanxia Hanezi" posted on Weibo to expose that his 28-year-old brother (soldier, no medical history) was vaccinated with the Sinopharm Group’s Beisheng inactivated vaccine at the Women’s and Children’s Health Center on Binhe Avenue in Shenzhen. He passed away on the 15th.

The post sent by "Hanako Yamashita" was deleted immediately, and she revealed that the official pressure was exerted on it.

At the end of March, the Sound Of Hope received news from the public that Wang Dajun, a 43-year-old villager in Lingxi Village, Guiyunhua Township, Zhuanghe City, Dalian, Liaoning Province, died on the day of vaccination. The family members demanded the authorities for an explanation but they were threatened by the authorities.

On 27 March, a netizen broke the news on Twitter that a worker in the Beijing Sany Heavy Industry Workshop received a Kexing vaccine injection on 21 March and died on the 23rd; some netizens broke the news in the message area under the self-media channel that Tianjin First Hospital Someone was vaccinated and died suddenly 2 days later.

Shanghai Korean dies after receiving Sinopharm vaccine, WHO will review vaccine on 26 April 2021

Compiled by : Jiang Ziyang / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/04/24/a103103524.html / Direct translation

To care about the latest situation of vaccines, a South Korean female expatriate in Shanghai in her forties experienced nausea and uncomfortable symptoms after being vaccinated by China National Pharmaceutical Group on 26 April 2021 (Monday). She was found dead in the bedroom at home, and there was no underlying disease during her lifetime. In addition, the World Health Organization will review the Sinopharm vaccine on Monday. None of the five previous vaccines in China has been approved by the WHO for emergency use.

In addition, the US CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held an online press conference yesterday to announce the resumption of the use of Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Janet Woodcock, Acting Director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said, "After considering all factors, we are confident that the Johnson & Johnson covid vaccine meets our safety standards, effectiveness and quality. It is a widely used medicine for healthy individuals."

After the previous 7 million vaccinations of the Janssen Vaccine in the United States, 6 cases of "rare and serious" thrombosis occurred, so the use of the vaccine was suspended. The US Food and Drug Administration will update the label of this vaccine to indicate that women under 50 should be aware of the risk of rare coagulation syndrome. There are more than 9 million doses of Johnson's vaccine in the United States that will continue to be put into use. According to the current rate of "rare and serious" thrombosis cases, it is estimated that there will be 7 to 8 female thrombosis patients in the future.

US official: CCP’s live organ harvesting should be included in US-China negotiations

Report by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a report for 2021, mentioning that the CCP continues to harvest organs from live organs, including organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience such as Falun Gong practitioners. 

According to NTDTV, Committee Member Bauer said that there is more and more evidence that the CCP is involved in forced organ harvesting, and suggested that the Biden administration put these specific issues in the US-China negotiations at any time. In this regard, Taiwan’s legislators also expressed support.

Non-party legislator Lin Changzuo commented, “I think every case and evidence about the CCP’s persecution of human rights has caused considerable shock and backlash around the world. I think he also hopes to be able to make every CCP’s cruel action accountable and effective methods have been used to stop the CCP." In addition, the report also pointed out that the waiting time for some organ transplant operations has been shortened to only 48 hours. Moreover, the CCP’s forceful organ harvesting has extended to Uyghurs.

ASEAN and Myanmar military governments reach agreement to end violence

Reporter : Lin Nan / Editor : Lin Yan / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/21/4/24/n12902982.htm / Direct translation

Southeast Asian leaders announced on Saturday (24 April) that they had reached an agreement with the Myanmar military government to end the violent conflict in Myanmar.


"Capitol Hill" reported that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) said in a statement that member states have reached consensus on five different points, including ending violence, engaging in dialogue among the parties, and appointing an ASEAN envoy to come to supervise the talks, receive aid, and the ASEAN envoy to visit Myanmar.

"In order to strengthen our regional unity and resilience, we reiterate that the political stability of ASEAN member states is essential to building a peaceful, stable and prosperous ASEAN community. We emphasize the need to maintain our unity, centrality and relevance in the region. And cope with common challenges together,” the statement said.

"We recognize that the strength of the ASEAN community lies in putting people at the center and realizing their aspirations to live in a region of lasting peace, security and stability, sustained economic growth, common prosperity and social progress. In this regard, we reiterate our The commitment to the purposes and principles contained in the Charter includes observance of the rule of law, good governance, democracy and constitutional principles, respect for fundamental freedoms, and promotion and protection of human rights."

The statement did not mention the release of detained political prisoners, and apart from a broad platform agreement, it barely included specific content.

Reuters reported that Charles Santiago, the head of the ASEAN Parliamentarians’ Human Rights Group, said after ASEAN leaders’ meeting with the Myanmar military government, “The release of political prisoners is a necessary condition to stop violence.”

He said, “ASEAN must now act quickly to set a clear timetable for Min Aung Hlaing to end the violence or be ready to hold him accountable at any time.”

The ASEAN meeting was one of the first formal talks to try to quell violence in Myanmar. The Burmese military government took over power after a coup d'etat on 1 February, and dismissed the civilian-led government.

According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, which tracks the coup, the military has arrested a large number of protesters and killed 745 people since then.

US CDC: More than 7,000 of those vaccinated were infected with 88 deaths

Reporter : Zachary Stieber/Compiled by Takasugi / Editor : Li Yuan / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/21/4/24/n12903135.htm / Translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

According to statistics from health officials, as of 20 April, among Americans who have been fully vaccinated, there have been 7,157 cases of SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) infection.

These fully vaccinated infected cases are called "breakthrough cases" and are reported by the states to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and then the CDC publishes the data.

According to the latest information, the CDC reported that 7,157 people who were fully vaccinated against the CCP virus were still infected with the virus afterwards.

64% of such "breakthrough cases" occurred in women; 46% occurred in men or women 60 years of age or older.

Nearly 500 people who have contracted covid after being fully vaccinated need to be sent to hospital for treatment. Although one-third of them were sent to the hospital for the disease, it is considered not to be related to the CCP virus. Among them, 88 people died, accounting for 1% of breakthrough cases. According to reports, 11 of the deaths were asymptomatic patients or had nothing to do with the CCP virus.

Details such as the number of cases in each state have not been made public.

The US CDC reported the number of breakthrough cases for the first time on 15 April. The latest data shows that there are 1,343 such cases. The latest data is as of April 20. A spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email that the CDC expects to update the data every Friday.

Since the current system relies on voluntary reports from state health departments, the actual number of breakthrough cases may be more than the figures released by the CDC.

As of 23 April, more than 91 million Americans have been fully vaccinated against the CCP virus.


Full vaccination refers to a second dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or a single dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and two weeks have passed.

Health officials and experts say that no vaccine can provide 100% protection, so people do not need to worry about these breakthrough cases.

S. Mark Tompkins, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Georgia, told The Epoch Times in an email: “Although there have been breakthrough cases, this is not Not surprising, but they are extremely rare and do not harm the value of mass vaccination in the slightest. Moreover, breakthrough cases are not that serious, which shows that even incomplete immunization can be beneficial."

A CDC spokesperson said that thousands of breakthrough cases are expected. "Vaccine breakthrough infection accounts for only a small part of the fully vaccinated population. CDC recommends that all eligible people get COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) vaccine as soon as possible." CDC also continued to advise: "Those who have been fully vaccinated People, in public places should continue to maintain preventive measures, such as wearing a mask, keeping a social distance of at least 6 feet with others, avoiding crowds and places with poor ventilation, and washing hands frequently."

The CDC said it is monitoring the reported breakthrough cases based on population, geographic location, time since vaccination, vaccine type and virus lineage. The center plans to soon focus on investigating only breakthrough cases that lead to hospitalization or death.

Expert advice to help children adapt to changes in learning patterns during the epidemic

Over the past year or so, Canadian primary and secondary schools have changed their learning modes several times, which has caused tremendous pressure on many families and children’s mental health problems have become increasingly prominent . A parenting expert puts forward 5 suggestions to parents to help children adapt to changes in the learning environment.

"During the epidemic, we created this 'social malnutrition' world." Saba Merchant, a pediatrician at the Maple Kidz Clinic in Ontario, told CTV, "Children cannot go to (school). They have lost extracurricular activities, and their daily routines are deprived. They have isolated themselves from society."

Because it is difficult for children to cope with loneliness, Merchant believes that they may experience more stress than their parents realize. She advises parents to pay attention to any obvious changes in their children, as this may be the first sign of a problem. Ignoring your child’s symptoms or delaying the visit can lead to worse long-term problems that will be more difficult to treat in the future.

Experts on children's issues give parents advice

Parenting tutor and behavior consultant Sylvia Corzato provides the following 5 suggestions to parents to help children adapt to learning changes more effectively.

1. Take time to discuss

The long-term epidemic prevention state is exhausting and easily triggers negative emotions. Therefore, communication has become an important method to deal with difficult problems. Parents should take time to discuss online learning models with their children, and ask their children about their feelings and opinions on online learning. When parents ask questions, they are opening the door of communication to understand the true feelings of their children.

2. Find out effective and ineffective practices

Parents can help their children understand what is feasible and what needs improvement based on their previous online learning experience. Parents need to know the reasons their children are frustrated with learning, their expectations while studying at home, and the lack of school closures. If children are tired of studying only in their own bedroom, it can help them choose a new study location, which will help them change their moods.

3. Find the balance

Now only 2 months before the end of the school year, the child's concentration on learning may gradually decrease. At this time in previous years, many families would start planning summer trips. It is not known whether these activities will happen this year, and children and parents must adjust accordingly. To help children find motivation for learning, especially after many times of switching between school learning and online learning, they need a balance that can maintain their thirst for knowledge even at home.

4. Establish clear daily rules

Regular daily activities or the biggest factor in the successful functioning of the family. Children should set fixed sleeping and eating times, etc., because they need clear instructions. When parents' expectations are clear and their actions are consistent, healthy boundaries are established and children are prepared for success.

5. Positive attitude

During the epidemic, both parents and children may experience emotional and stress tests. Parents are role models, and children are imitating their parents' behavior, including coping strategies. As a parent, it is very important to have a balance at home. Even if you are in a difficult situation, you must express your feelings to your children in a meaningful way. This is an excellent opportunity to teach your children how to cope. Parents can also use the epidemic to teach their children how to be more adaptable and how to get out of trouble.

US Democratic senators reject amendment requiring schools discriminating against Asian Americans cannot receive federal funds

Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2021/0425/1585019.html / Direct translation

Cruz’s amendment requires that schools that discriminate against Asian Americans in admissions policies cannot receive federal funds. However, this amendment, which can truly benefit the majority of Asian students, has won unanimous opposition from Democratic senators. The vote on Thursday was 49 in favor and 48 against. Cruz’s amendment was rejected because it failed to reach the required 60 votes.

 In a previous interview with the Houston Chronicle, Cruz said that the "Anti-Asian American Hate Crimes Act" is not meant to prevent or punish actual crimes against Asians, but to promote a clear narrative background that does not recognize that the CCP virus originated in Wuhan, does not admit that the CCP actively lied and suppressed information about the epidemic. "Universities discriminate against Asians in admissions policies, do not conform to the Democratic Party's narrative background. The Democratic Party will never support amendments in this regard.

The Minister of Justice and the Ministry of Health and Human Services must also propose guidelines to reduce racial and language discrimination due to the epidemic.

Chinese netizens commented that Senator Cruz's additional case against the discrimination against Asians in college admissions was not passed. The opposition is all the Democratic Party. Some netizens said that the "Anti-Asian American Hate Act" is of no use. It is far inferior to enacting an anti-Asian discrimination bill, which can be shown to the community, to schools, to employers, and to government departments. Some netizens also said that the local Communist Party and the American Leftists finally used Asian Americans as a political tool of the Democratic Party.

Pompeo: Xi Jinping has another picture, the United States has made a big mistake on the climate issue

Reporter : Li Yun / Li Quan / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/04/24/a103103413.html / Direct translation

The two-day climate change leader video summit has ended. Former US Secretary of State Pompeo talked about some of Xi Jinping's remarks at the climate summit. He said that Xi did not come to the meeting for the sake of the climate agreement, but had other plans. The United States made a huge mistake on the climate issue.

The Climate Change Leaders Video Summit hosted by the US government was held for two consecutive days from the 22nd to the 23rd. Leaders from 40 countries and international organizations around the world attended the meeting to discuss how to face climate change.

This is the first international leader video summit hosted by Biden since he took office, including the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, Russian President Putin, British Prime Minister Johnson and Indian Prime Minister Modi.

At this climate summit, some of Xi Jinping's speeches were touted as "gold phrases" by the Chinese Communist Party's official media, but they left Bill Hemmer, a senior American journalist and Fox News host, deeply puzzled.

On the 22nd, Haimer interviewed Pompeo and asked about what Xi Jinping said at the meeting, “Protecting the ecological environment means protecting productivity, and improving the ecological environment means developing productivity. This is a simple truth.”

This sentence was touted by the Chinese Communist Party XinhuaNet as Xi Jinping's "golden sentence" at the climate summit.

Haimer asked Pompeo, "Do you know what this sentence means?"

Pompeo said, "I don't know what this means." But one thing is very certain. No matter what Xi Jinping is thinking, he wants to expand the power of the Chinese Communist Party to harm the United States in the US-China exchanges and dominate the world.

Pompeo pointed out that Xi Jinping had other plans. He did not come to the meeting for the sake of the climate agreement. He did not come for the interests of the United States or the Chinese people. The CCP is an autocratic, Marxist-Leninist regime. The goal is to replace the United States as a world superpower.

Haimer quoted Biden’s latest tweet, “The United States is back again, rejoining the Paris Agreement, and working with the world to cope with the climate crisis.” He asked Pompeo, “Do you think the climate issue is urgent?”

Pompeo replied, "Everyone wants pure air and safe and clean water, but it would be a huge mistake to put the climate issue above the series of threats facing the United States."

For example, he said that the CCP poses a huge threat to the United States. They flaunt their military might and destroy the US infrastructure. These problems are much more serious than "climate change." There is also the refugee problem on the southern border of the United States, which is much more pressing than the climate problem.

In addition to Pompeo's disagreement that the climate problem is serious, and because Biden issued an executive order requiring all federal agencies to address what he considers to be a "climate crisis," 10 states in the United States are suing him.

Biden previously stated in this executive order that the federal government "must promote environmental justice" and make efforts to "reduce greenhouse gas emissions" and "enhance the ability to respond to the impact of climate change."

On 22 April, Biden announced a new phase of his climate agenda, vowing that the United States will halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry warned that if not challenged, Biden’s order could destroy a range of industries. "Almost all aspects of our economy and culture are threatened by this unreasonable policy."

Cao Changqing, a well-known scholar living in the United States, also commented on social media on the 23rd that the first global 20-nation summit video conference convened after Biden came to power was actually a study to deal with the overheating of the atmosphere, saying that this is the greatest threat to mankind. In the past 100 years, the global temperature has only risen by 1 degree on average, but the leftists have used it to oppose the market economy and control human life.

Cao Changqing said that the CCP virus killed millions of people and caused the world to suspend work and wear masks, affecting the lives of all mankind! Bidens did not deal with this greatest threat and held accountability, but talked about overheating.

The CCP virus broke out in Wuhan in December 2019, but before mid-January 2020, the CCP lied three times that the epidemic is preventable and controllable and will not spread from person to person. As a result, the epidemic went out of control and spread rapidly all over the world.

At present, the CCP virus epidemic has transformed into a more contagious plague, which continues to raging around the world. As of the 22nd, the pandemic of the century has infected more than 140 million people worldwide and killed more than 3 million people. More than 300,000 people have been diagnosed in India alone.

China's "2-meter-long" Siberian tiger went down to hurt people and broke car window with a palm




In early February 2021, a wild Siberian tiger came down from the mountain and broke into the village in Yanbian, Jilin Province, China but it seems that the tiger in Northeast China has been panicking in the mountains and forests recently, and wants to walked down the mountain.


On 23 April, in a village in the Mishan area of ​​Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, China, people reported that a tiger had been found at 7 am. This kind of wild beast is rarely seen in areas where people live. It appeared in broad daylight, and it was even more rare to stroll around the village.


Others captured the moment when the descending Siberian tiger entered the village and attacked people. The tiger was walking slowly in the farmland at first, then suddenly accelerated gradually, and finally ran wildly. At this moment, a person appeared on the other end of the screen. It was running towards that person, and soon threw people down.


However, the tiger did not continue to attack this person. It seemed that it hugged this person and then left. In fact, this is not like the state of tiger hunting. We watch many documentaries. Before the tiger actually preys, it is lying in ambush in the grass, then slowly approaching its prey, and suddenly attacking when the other party is not aware of it. This time the tiger was strolling in the open farmland and saw a person on the opposite side directly. It is estimated that the person saw it from a distance, and then ran over like a long-distance raid. This is either because it looks down on the prey too much, or the tiger really just wants to hug him. 


Later, someone was actually bitten by a tiger. It is not certain whether this person is. Then the tiger hid next to a house in the village, where he was photographed resting on his stomach.


Afterwards, the relevant personnel who came to catch the tiger confronted the tiger in the village for a day. During the period, someone drove to observe the tiger's movement from a distance, but he was discovered by the tiger. Maybe the tiger was looked down upon. He thought to himself, "You drive a domestic car and watch me do?" Immediately ran towards the car, because the tiger was very big and fast. The people in the car were scared when they were sitting in the car. They hurriedly told the driver to drive, but they were still a step slower, and the car was smashed by the tiger's palm. window. The person in the car later said in a self-recorded video that he was almost hit by the palm of a tiger.


Is it safe to drive to a safari park to see tigers? Because there is only one car window between you and the tiger. Now the answer is, be careful.


Finally, at night, someone used five anesthesia rounds to subdue the Siberian tiger. It was discovered that the tiger was two metres long, one metre tall, and weighed more than 200 kilograms. It was an adult tiger.

Xi Jinping's "Fighting Tiger" at Shanghai's China Eastern Airlines' seduction mission



Because of some of the characteristics of tigers, they are often used as a metaphor for fierce, greedy, and aggressive bullies. For example, the CCP used the name of "anti-corruption" to attack different gangs in the internal struggle, and often referred to the targets as "big tigers." The so-called "anti-corruption" during Xi Jinping's early administration was also called the "tiger fighting movement." , And the term "tiger" is often used in the CCP system to describe the "headman" of the oppressed party.


For example, Ma Tsai, the son of Jiang Zemin, Jiang Mianheng, and Yang Xiong, the former mayor of Shanghai, who died in a hospital recently, can be called a tiger. The death of Yang Xiong is also considered by analysts to be Xi Jinping's further strangulation of the Jiang faction, but the biggest back-end bosses like the Jiang faction, such as Jiang Mianheng, Zeng Qinghong, and Jia Ting'an, have not yet been passive.


Zhou Zhengyi, the former richest man in Shanghai who was close to them, celebrated his birthday in Shanghai with a high profile, and the host of local TV stations all came on stage to celebrate his birthday. As a result, the incident came to light. Under pressure, those birthday hosts were criticized, but Zhou Zhengyi himself did not see what the mainland official media said about him.


Why did Zhou Zhengyi dare to do this under Xi Jinping's rule? It is very likely that Shanghai has its own umbrella, and Xi Jinping has not completely dismantled the Shanghai power of the Jiang faction. But as Xi Jinping's power grows stronger and stronger, when he sees these Shanghai Gang members posing under his nose, can he let him develop? Probably not. So going down, Xi Jinping and the Jiang faction will fight more fiercely.


This is a power struggle, and now the entire CCP officialdom is embodied in corruption and corruption, and many failures have been exposed one by one. Some time ago, we talked about the female auxiliary police officer Xu Yan from a certain place in Lianyungang, Jiangsu. She said that she was involved in a relationship with 9 local officials, but she was the only one who was convicted in the end. The whole society is asking, and the 9 officials are all. All right?


At present, the Chinese Communist Party's Eastern Airlines executives also broke out a sex scandal. It was Ni Mou, a flight attendant of China Eastern Airlines, who sexually bribed a senior official. This flight attendant is not an ordinary flight attendant, she is also an official. She is the party branch secretary in the 6th cabin of China Eastern Airlines. I don't know how this official became. Recently, she received an instruction from an executive of China Eastern Airlines' Jiangsu branch with the surname Tian. It is said that it was Tian Hong, the secretary of the party committee of the branch. He asked Ni to sexually bribe another senior official with the surname Qi. Some people broke the news that two people were involved. They are high-level executives of China Eastern Airlines and CAAC.


The senior official surnamed Qiu not only accepted bribes happily, but also made abnormal demands. The flight attendant Ni was unabashedly satisfied one by one in the short message. The relevant short messages were exposed on the Internet, causing an uproar on the Internet. It is currently unknown how to deal with it.


The officialdom of the Chinese Communist Party is rich in such officials. From the diplomatic war wolf Liu Xiaoming and Zhao Lijian, following erotic accounts and even publicly liking erotic content, to these scandals that have been repeatedly exploded by officials at all levels in the country, Chinese society has been affected by such a scandal. Helping others to rule, now what kind of "global governance" Xi Jinping has to promote in the world with these guys?

The CCP Opens Up "Eight Goals", Xi's Team promote Western Decline Theory


The party media "Duowei.com", which is considered to have a Jiang faction background, published an exclusive interview with Shi Yinhong, a professor of the School of International Relations of Renmin University of China and a queen scholar, on April 21, which publicly disclosed the CCP’s military, diplomatic, and ideological fields. A total of eight goals are expected to be completed within the next 20 years. The eight goals are:


First, to achieve the world’s first GDP; second, the per capita income has reached the upper-middle level in the world; third, the military’s armed forces and combat capabilities have reached the world’s top level; fourth, the high-tech field has reached a single or tied lead in the world; fifth, the so-called "unification" of Taiwan; sixth, in the Western Pacific, excluding Okinawa and Japan, occupying a "strategic military" advantage over the United States; seventh, maintaining a strategic military position that is difficult to damage in the eastern Indian Ocean; eighth, In the field of world diplomacy, with prestige and ideological influence, it has a first-class advantage.


Of these eight goals, the fifth item that attracts the most attention is the so-called unification of Taiwan. The CCP is good at data falsification in the first two GDP and per capita income. It is not difficult for the two points to "get ahead quickly"; Personally speaking, whether income is really what the Communist Party cares about is strongly questioned. In addition, it is said that it is necessary to maintain a certain strategic advantage in the eastern Indian Ocean. According to a rough division, the eastern Indian Ocean should be the area east of the Indian state, including Southeast Asia from Myanmar to Malaysia to Indonesia, and actually includes Australia.


Therefore, the above eight goals can be interpreted from another perspective. In the next 20 years, the CCP will not only invade Taiwan, but also divide the world with the United States because it is difficult to replace the United States for a while but it wants to cut the cake with the United States, except for Japan’s western Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean regions. They must stretch out a paw to redistribute the world order with the United States. Just like the famous pro-Communist person in the United States, former Secretary of State Kissinger said on March 25: The United States must reach a consensus with the CCP on a new international order, otherwise the world may once again face the situation before the First World War.


Nobody understands the thinking of people like Kissinger. It is necessary to stop the evil. If there is a war, it is not the fault of the world. It is the fault of the evil regime. It is the only way to avoid war and seek perfection. Tiger is in trouble. Now the CCP’s think tank has put on the table the sphere of influence the CCP will want for the next 20 years, so you don’t need to guess from the outside world.


At the same time, on 20 April, Xi Jinping’s die-hard fan, Wang Chen, vice chairman of the Chinese Communist Party’s National People’s Congress, published another signed article, re-emphasizing the rhetoric of “rising east and falling west”, in short, touting the CCP’s system and so-called advantages. , Belittle the West. In his article, he once again stated that the CCP cannot copy the model of other countries, nor will it follow the path of separation of powers and constitutional government. There is nothing new in this article, but it can remind the outside world that the CCP wants to divide and rule the world with the United States in the next 20 years. That is, the CCP believes that it will rise and the West will decline, and it is more than just a rise. Economy, but also to promote their own dictatorship political system and ideology.


However, Feng Chongyi, a professor of Chinese studies at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia, commented on Xi Jinping’s "East rise and West fall", saying that Xi Jinping received education from the Mao Zedong era since he was a child. He believes that Xi Jinping's "East rise and West fall" is nothing more than a new stir of old rice and a replay of the old tune.


However, the CCP with its profile unabashedly declared to the outside world its ideology, military aspirations, influence goals, etc., can it keep the international from vigilant?

The Japanese Defense Minister warned against Taiwan’s redification, don’t save the CCP for the third time!


Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi recently said at a meeting of Japanese Liberal Democratic Party members that the CCP is "invading step by step" in inconspicuous places, including in the East China Sea where the Diaoyu Islands are located, as well as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. He warned that the ultimate goal of the CCP is to completely change the status quo. He specifically mentioned that if Taiwan is occupied by Beijing and eroded, the situation will change drastically.


The editor of Japan's Sankei Shimbun, Gan Masato, published an introspective article as early as January 1 of this year, warning Japan not to make another mistake on the CCP issue. The main content of the article is that he said that he was a pro-China sect since he was a child, and took the initiative to learn Chinese when he was young, but what really made him wake up like a dream was the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4th. He was a Japanese reporter at the time.


However, he found that the Japanese Prime Minister at the time had nothing to do, and then Japan was the first country to conduct economic cooperation with the CCP after the June Fourth economic blockade, and saved the CCP on the pretext that it "cannot isolate China."


Gan Zhengren said that there was another time that Japan rescued the CCP. It was during the war that the Japanese army attacked China and gave the CCP a chance to recover and grow in the rear. In his article, he warned Japanese society: We have saved the CCP twice in history, and cannot save the third time!

The Japanese version of the "Taiwan Relations Act" was shelved


At present, Japan seems to be less pro-communist, but the Japanese government also has a lot of detailed calculations of its own in handling the situation. Japan’s Nikkei Asia revealed its inside story after the U.S.-Japan summit last week. It said that before the U.S.-Japan summit, Kurt Campbell, the Indo-Pacific affairs coordinator of the U.S. White House, flew to Japan to prepare for the summit. One is to give Japan some suggestions for the summit to achieve certain results.


Including the suggestion that Japan should imitate the United States and establish the "Taiwan Relations Act", which surprised the Japanese government. It was worried that Beijing would lose orders from the CCP and cause Japan's relations with mainland China to regress. Therefore, the Japanese government at least at the summit, He did not accept this suggestion. Instead, he followed the arguments of the previous US-Japan 2+2 summit and issued strong language against the CCP on the Taiwan Strait issue.


In addition, before going to the United States, Yoshihide Suga was told by a former Japanese prime minister that the U.S. might be worried that Yoshihide Suga was a "pro-China faction." The Japanese media said Yoshihide Suga didn't believe it very much and asked if it was true. Therefore, after arriving in the United States, Yoshihide Suga took the initiative to bring up the CCP issue, and at the summit, he uttered harsh words on the Taiwan Strait issue in order to give the U.S. an impression that he was tough on the CCP.


At the same time, the Japanese are worried that once the CCP attacked Taiwan, it would take the Diaoyu Islands together. Therefore, in the joint statement with the United States, they tried their best to urge the United States to promise that the U.S.-Japan security statement also applies to the Diaoyu Islands.


The Japanese media said that Yoshihide Suga was very satisfied with the results of the summit, and one of the reasons was reflected in a sentence he said to his staff: The Senkaku Islands are now linked to the two issues of Taiwan. The Senkaku Islands referred to in Japan are the Diaoyu Islands.


The shrewdness of the Japanese was reflected in this diplomatic performance.

Japan-U.S. cooperation on 6G network


Another important result of the U.S.-Japan Summit is that the U.S. will invest 2.5 billion U.S. Dollars and Japan will invest 2 billion U.S. Dollars to jointly invest in the development and testing of more advanced "6G" technologies, and to create an "open architecture wireless access." "Network" (Open-RAN) means that this network can accommodate equipment from different manufacturers. This is done to exclude the CCP’s arbitrariness in this field, and it is not just the CCP.


At present, the CCP’s companies, together with South Korean companies, account for 90% of the global communications base station market share, while U.S. and Japanese companies account for a small share. So this move is to give U.S. and Japanese companies joint development in this field and open up opportunities. .


As for the development of "6G technology", the term sounds very fresh, but it has already been targeted by many countries. The CCP has written the development of 6G technology into its new five-year plan, and Huawei has opened up in Canada. 6G R&D Center.


The 6G plan proposed by the United States and Japan is to resist the influence of the CCP in this newer field. In October last year, the United States had established the "6G Communication Technology Alliance" including Apple, Qualcomm, Google, AT&T, etc.

Chinese spy steals Coca-Cola's secret recipe


The CCP’s so-called development of technology is actually maintained by stealing and plagiarizing technologies from other countries. This is recognized by the CCP’s scholars. Not to mention these advanced communication technologies, there are many similar examples in other disciplines.


For example, recently, You Xiaorong, a Chinese-American chemist involved in the CCP’s Thousand Talents Program, was charged with three crimes including stealing trade secrets. He has been convicted and will be sentenced on November 1. The trade secret she stole was actually a material of the inner coating of Coca-Cola’s cans, called "bisphenol A". This material can reduce the taste loss of the beverage and avoid unnecessary chemical reactions with the container. Such as corroded containers and so on.


You Xiaorong was authorized by this trade secret while working for Coca-Cola and an American chemical company, but he helped the CCP steal it. In other words, the CCP would steal the internal chemical coating of such a small can. On the one hand, it shows how hypocritical its so-called self-confidence is. On the other, it can also be seen that the CCP’s stealing secrets against the West is pervasive.

The CCP’s "Xiong University" badge is very reactionary


But the CCP itself also knows that it has to build its own research base, and now it has established a new university. It is based on Xi Jinping's instructions to establish a "Xiong'an University", which can be referred to as "Xiongda" for short. This university was founded by a series of prestigious universities in mainland China, such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, etc., a total of 25 universities and colleges, such as Peking University’s School of Medicine and Management School, will open up new branches here.


This comprehensive "Xiong'an University" was born. Enrollment began in 2023, and the school badge was designed. Some people commented that this is the ugliest school badge. Under searches, you can find similar free pattern materials to download. The design looks really embarrassing. At the same time, I also feel that this school badge is a bit reactionary. Does it look like a "union"?


Everyone knows the meaning of the word "union" (并). As we explained in the previous show, it is the word "community"(共) on the reverse, and the word "union" (并) on the other hand, is a sensitive word that metaphors "anti-communism" (反共).

Myanmar teenagers kneel for help from Japan




People in more countries now hate the CCP, especially the Burmese under the oppression of the military government. The Burmese people are in desperate need of help under the coup. There are young Burmese students studying in Japan who distributed leaflets in the street, telling people in Japan what happened in Myanmar, and kneeling down to ask for their support and help. The first picture I saw for a while, I felt a little bit about to cry.


The world really needs justice and conscience so much that it cannot let evil go so crazy.

Han Zheng urges Lin Zheng to push draconian laws


The CCP is also very afraid of the spread of the epidemic. At present, the Chinese Communist Party’s Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Hong Kong and Macau affairs, Han Zheng, met with Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Lam Cheng and Macau Chief Executive He Yicheng in Guangzhou. They declared that epidemic prevention should be the top priority, and at the same time reminded Lam Cheng to implement the principle of "Patriot ruling Hong Kong" and hurry up. Do a good job in local legislation and organize the elections to be held this year and next.


This is to continue to urge Lam to implement the Hong Kong election law revised by the CCP, or it may be to force the Hong Kong government to continue to formulate other relevant laws and regulations in accordance with the requirements of the "National Security Law."

Hong Kong Communist Party suppresses reporters


But at this time, Hong Kong reporters have become targets of suppression by the Hong Kong government. Tsai Yuling, the director of Radio Television Hong Kong, was accused by the Hong Kong Communist Party of alleged "misrepresentation" during the inspection of suspicious license plates in the July 21st, 2019.

Regarding the verdict of the case, Yang Jianxing, chairman of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, commented that this was the darkest day in the Hong Kong press and it was also a day when Hong Kong was humiliated.


Recently, in Hong Kong, the Communist Party once again hired a murderer to attack and damage the "Epoch Times" printing plant, severely sentenced "Apple Daily" boss Li Zhiying, and this time it was sentenced to "misrepresentation" against a reporter from Radio Hong Kong. Guilty, a series of incidents show that the CCP's suppression of Hong Kong's press freedom has entered a new stage and Carrie Lam herself recently said that she should start with news and education in Hong Kong.

Truth textbooks are criticized


In terms of education, the official account "Xia Ke Dao" under the overseas edition of the People's Daily published articles criticizing Hong Kong's general education textbooks. For example, "New Vision General Education (Comprehensive Fourth Edition)-Hong Kong Today" describes Hong Kong The police mentioned: Hong Kong's human rights continue to be restricted, police law enforcement methods are controversial, police power harms the freedom of Hong Kong people and so on. The official media criticized the fact that these truth-telling contents are "drug teaching materials", which is so-called "smearing" the Hong Kong police. This is to further revise Hong Kong teaching materials and to brainwash the public opinion before Hong Kong people.
